Choose life without the SNP.”Other lines on the poster include ‘choose blaming the TOAAARIES’, ‘choose a hard border with your neighbours’, and ‘choose the worst drug deaths in Europe’.Welsh, the author of Trainspotting, which was adapted into Danny Boyle’s film of the same name in 1996, wrote in response on Twitter: “Get fucked you cunts.”Get fucked you cunts.

In 2014, the author called out Tory MP George Osborne when he quoted Trainspotting during a party conference speech.In response to Osborne, who proclaimed “choose David Cameron”, Welsh wrote on Twitter: “Would rather have Fred and Rose West quote my characters on child care than that cunt Osbourne quote them on choice.” He added: “Obviously not impressed by Osbourne’s Trainspotting refs, but there are bigger reasons to detest that twat than him ripping off a poxy book.”A sequel to the Trainspotting film, T2 Trainspotting, was released in January 2017.
